Manon Gouther: Self-taught illustrator, Manon studied graphic design, but since 2006, she has devoted herself to illustration. Here is my analysis of her work.
Colour: Her work is mainly in low-saturated colours, such as pale yellow, pink and grey. She often illustrates fairy tale picture books, combining such colours to tell the story as a heart-warming tale, which gives a gentle and calming feeling to the colour palette. Composition: She often uses the characters as an essential part of her work; while the backgroundisfaded,thecharactersareconcrete.Moredetailsareshowninthefigures; the experience is lighter in colour, while the figures often have many elements, such as wearing hats and red clothes.

Materials: The most significant highlight of her work is the combination of different materials. She uses different types of paper and plastic to combine into collages. The materials are varied, such as a combination of watercolour and chromolithography.

What I learnt: Combining the two artists, I wanted to refer to Manon Gouther's use of materials. I want to make a picture book, and I need to think about the presentation of the images. Combining different materials to create different textures on paper will surprise my paintings. I had to school Hilma on colour, and when I visited Tate, I was struck by the colours in her work, and my eyes immediately fell on these huge pieces of work. I extracted these colours as my colour palette.

In the first design, I combined the image of a red starfish with that of a long-armed starfish to design a new starfish. I wanted to show the idea that it was heavy, so I made its face very fat. But when I shared it with my friends, they all thought the starfish looked a bit disgusting, probably because of the polka dots and spines on its body. So I changed it.

In the second version, I dropped the polka dots and the spines. But I combined it with one of the characters in the sketch; the colourful light behind it represents infinite energy. I got positive feedback on this design, but I still need to change the starfish's arm. I wanted it to look like a paper cutout, so I made the arm look like a flat surface that could be folded, but my friend suggested I make the arm overdrawn, and in the end, I could cut the paper to achieve the desired effect.

For the final design, I modified the arm and the facial expression. I experimented with different colour combinations and chose yellow as the final image. I designed a shell on the back to emphasise that it was cumbersome.

Elements: beret, casual t-shirt, flip flops, palette, brushes, Martin boots, and sneakers are the clothes that most artists often wear.

Inspiration: I went to the school and observed how everyone was dressed, and I noticed that most of the people were more minimalist. I tried different genders, different hairstyles and different outfits. The man in the pyjamas is a true reflection of myself; I often paint at home without brushing my hair and wearing slippers.

Colour palette: I refer to Hilmt's colour palette and try to make a visual impact with saturated colours. The highlight of my design of the figures is the colourful paint. Considering the character I was designing was an artist, I wanted to show his identity.

For the figure's pose, I observed and photographed people at school in the posture of their paintings, and their movements were used as the pose of the figure in my work. I tried to add starfish to the picture, just enough to fit a starfish around the figure's neck.

The character's design is crucial in the expression of the illustrated picture book, as the narrative character will appear throughout the story picture book given the story. : Well-designed characterisation captures the reader's attention and keeps them interested in the story. Distinctive physical features, personality traits and endearing images can draw children in and give them emotional resonance and empathy for the characters. Each character has their own goals, motivations and conflicts, and it is through the interactions and conflicts between the characters that the storyline unfolds. Character design can convey values and moral education. Through the characters' words, actions and behaviour, positive values such as friendship, courage, justice, and respect for others can be conveyed to the reader.

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a Swedish artist considered one of the pioneers of abstract art. During the 20th century, art genres such as impressionism, symbolist art, and industrial movements were becoming popular, while her abstract works were overlooked. It was in the 1980s that her works came to the art world's attention.
Colour: Hilma af Klint uses vivid and saturated colours to create strong visual effects. She uses bold and expressive colours,includingvibrantreds,blues,yellowsandgreens.Thesecoloursaredecorativeelementsandgraphictoolsto convey emotion, energy and spiritual meaning.

The school organised a trip to the Docklands Museum. I observed some of the sea creatures in the exhibition that are relevant to my project. Most notable to me was this seashell in the pavilion. This shell caught my eye because of the combination of green, blue and pink. And the texture in the shell. Here is a jigsaw puzzle, and I observed that the author used different materials, such as plastic, acrylic and wool. Many materials are piled up together to give more substance to the 2d image

What I benefited from: The shapes of the starfish inspired my character design, as I could only get a clearer idea of the texture of the starfish if I had seen them in the flesh. I did some quick sketches here, which I enjoyed because I didn't need to think of a specific answer, and I got a lot of images very quickly. These things inspired me to design my starfish, and the shells reminded me of creating a 3d texture on 2d paper. The combination of colour and texture will give my images richer content.
